Nuj Alarm Clock 12+

Well worth it

I’ve been paying for this app for a good few months now and it’s one of the only apps I pay a subscription for, because it genuinely fixed my problem of not being able to discipline myself to get up on time as I don’t work set hours. Super clever idea yet so simple that anyone could use it - just set the time, penalty and how you’ll prove you are up and it will lock it in an hour before the alarm - completely uncheatable.
I love the new feature that counts your steps as proof - great way to get energized for the day ahead. It would be great to see more physical activity as proof somehow or even puzzles or trivia.
Also, the app support has been super helpful and friendly if ever I have needed to reach out.
Definitely worth a download to try it out for yourself!

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for the recognition and wonderful review! Not having set hours is one of the reasons Nuj was built in the first place! I'm thrilled to hear it's been able to solve this problem for you as well :)

Puzzles and trivia as different proof/challenges will definitely be considered for future updates. Keep the suggestions coming! :)

Unique uncheatable app!

I have tried a few alarm clock ‘wake up’ apps and they all had the same issue in that they could be cheated, by turning off the phone, silencing alarms etc. This app prevents that problem and as far as I know is the only app that does so.

I have never been a morning person. This app has no doubt prevented me lying in bed for hours. This value is why I continue to pay the app subscription even though I have few app subscriptions. The dev is also very responsive and helped me make a feature work.

One potential feature could be to add puzzles or maths problems. This would help to make sure you are not only physically awake but also ‘mentally’ awake!

Thanks for review and feedback! Yes, having challenges that engage you mentally is in the plans.

If there are other features you'd like to see, feel free to send an email to support@nuj.app or use the in-app chat to chat with me directly.

The only alarm that consistently gets me out of bed

Nuj is an absolutely fantastic alarm app. Having to do my steps when I wake up really wakes my brain and body up way more than just an alarm sound does alone, and knowing that if I don’t do the steps I have to pay $5 always makes me motivated (although you can choose to set penalty free alarms). On the one time I did fall back to sleep, it didn’t feel too awful paying the money because I knew it was going to my choice of charity. Their customer support team are really friendly and helpful too. Definitely recommend this app!
